World Log: Tundra Arrival

Who: All characters in the city
What: The log for the city's arrivel on the ice planet
Where: All around the city
When: November 21st-November 30th
Warnings: None


You all get some warning to prepare, which is great. A little time to stock up on supplies, make sure everything's where it supposed to be, call your friends in from their fishing boats. And then the city moves. It happens in the blink of an eye - one moment you're on islands, surrounded by ocean, and the next? The next you're surrounded by frozen ground, the temperature has dropped significantly, and even the sky looks different. The air has a bite to it, that familiar feeling telling you it's thinking about snowing soon. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday soon.

The city has rearranged itself back into that old, familiar shape, instead of spread out across islands like it was a moment ago. Maybe that'll make things easier for you, maybe it won't, but it also means the return of the lake and river that used to bisect the city - only now they're frozen over. This climate also means it'll be hard for any plants not otherwise protected to survive - and that you, too, will start feeling that cold if you're away from a warm place for too long.

And warm places might be in short supply, because when the city moved the gods did not. What does that mean for you? Well, whatever supplies are in the shops at the moment the city moves are the only ones left. No new food supplies, no new clothing, nothing. In addition, the power across the whole city is out, including water and heating. Anything else powered or supplied by gods (the hot springs, the mopeds, what's left of the orchard, the armory, the GPS) will not work.

You're on your own. Try not to die.

► This log covers November 21st-30th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you freeze to death, starve to death, are eaten by the local animals, fall through the ice, or find some other exciting way to die, please let us know here, and be aware resurrection will not be currently happening. You stay dead - for now.

[Scott rubs the back of his head with a sheepish chuckle.]

Uhhh, actually he's more like an implant in my head. We're sort of...[He makes a couple of vague hand gestures as he tries to explain it before dropping them back down to his sides.] Connected?

Hard to explain.

Ooooh, you're saying that you have a direct neural interface.

[It's not hard to explain at all, what are you even talking about.]

So this AI of yours connects directly to your brain? I'm assuming the whole thing isn't just uploaded directly into your brain, you'd have a lot more hardware going on up there if that was the case. You're like, networked to it, then?

[Sorry Peter, he forgets he's talking to a nerd who actually knows what he's talking about. But the rest of it is most definitely hard to explain.]

Yeah, exactly. A lot of us where I come from have the SAM implants. He's actually back on the Hyperion in SAM node...probably why I can't connect with him anymore if we're all the way over here in some other...universe. But uh, apparently he's part of my brain now? [Scott snorts a laugh.] No one could explain to me what the hell that meant. So, that's a thing.

I mean, if the implant is directly in your brain, then yeah, it makes sense. What exactly can he do in there? Why upload an AI into your brain to begin with? I'm sure you didn't just do it because it sounded like fun, nobody gets things attached to their brains because all the cool kids are doing it.

[He pauses, only because he's not sure how to explain how 'part of him' is a little different than just...an implant in his brain.]

SAM has a direct feed into anything I see or hear or feel. That means he can provide me with advanced help that a normal AI couldn't. We Pathfinders end up in situations with a lot of unknowns all the time, so SAM's direct link to us comes in handy.

So he's not... just implanted, he's literally hard wired into you. That sounds awesome, but also kind of dangerous?

[personal profile] casualryder 2019-02-06 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah. But I trust SAM. My dad designed him — he knew what he was doing. I mean, I won't deny it has the potential to be really dangerous, but...so far so good?

[It's a careless thought but look, there's nothing he can do about it now.]
